Thank you very much and God bless you.
I was in Barbados when Beryl moved through. We were going to get 8+ inches of rain. I don’t know how much we eventually got but I’d say it was 1 or 2 inches. The whole storm was a minor inconvenience.
Some storms are bad. Some storms are not so bad. But the experts mostly don’t know what they’re talking about and their job seems to be primarily focused on scaring people over whatever it is that seems on deck for the near future.
Seriously. A whole lot of rank speculation cloaked in science. Man am I tired of being lied to by “the science”
Yeah, when it entered the Carribean, it was a Category Five. But when it finally reached Texas it was a low Cat 1/Tropical Storm.
Its biggest damage was rain, and lots of it.
Unless they’re pimping their latest global warming funding grant, Hurricane specialists would say, “Yup, it was a hurricane.”
Journalists are so stupid.
I live north of Houston. I have some siding and roof damage, and also some water damage. Five days without power. Temperatures in the low 90s every day. I did what earlier Texans did before air conditioning. Every night I took a cold shower and slept with the windows open. I cooked on a backpacking stove. My refrigerator is the cleanest and emptiest it has been since it was new.
What a bunch of nonsense. The only thing unusual about Beryl was that it popped up early.
Category over the open water is not significant.
It made landfall as a Cat 1. It produced a not unexpected amount of rain for a hurricane.
The issues with the power grid are not issues of the forces of nature, but rather government mismanagement.
But nothing like blaming it on “climate change” to whip up hysteria and profit off it.
Except when it doesn’t work.
We discussed that scenario in my meteorology class, when there were people suggesting using nukes.
Our prof told us that powerful as nukes are, they are a fraction of the amount of energy produced by a hurricane. All dropping a nuke in it would do is very effectively spread the radioactivity.
Does this mean that we are all gonna die...again?
“all fuel air bombs”
LOL
Years and years ago some congressional representative suggested that we drop A-Bombs in the eyes of hurricanes and that would stop them! He was about as bright as Hank Johnson!
ROFL
Earliest hurricane ever ... since when? Aren’t there records from the 1600s but what about before that?
“...hurricanes acutely stresses power grids like those in Texas...”
It is not the hurricane stressing the power grid, it is the lack of power due to their reliance on windmills.
And, it is falling trees that cause the power outages.
I don’t believe anything from those that manipulate either the weather outright (and I believe they do) or the statistics (and of course they do)
“Aren’t there records from the 1600s but what about before that?”
And we know how accurate the instruments were 400 years ago.

Somebody in the government could mention weather modification, they've been aware of it since at least the Seventies.
Beryl wasn’t even a hurricane when it hit shore. They had to stretch to get a 76 mph reading somewhere so they could call it a cat 1. Big rain storm, granted. In hurricane annals, hardly worth a footnote.

In order to match the energetic power of a hurricane, there would need to be almost 2,000 “Little Boys” dropped per hour as long as the hurricane remained a hurricane.
how did anyone live before air conditioning? Of course that was when sun was your friend....way before sunscreen...
This was much more of a wind event, far west of Houston, than it was a water/flooding event.
A friend of ours runs several landscaping crews, out of the Sealy/Wallis area and said he’s never seen anything like it, for a Cat 1 ... huge, established trees (pecans, etc) uprooted, and, downed, everywhere.
